Greetings, Exiles.
I will be using this space to share what's coming next on the Lore Of Exile YouTube channel, from character deep dives to shedding light on lore topics.
If you're a Path of Exile lore nerd, you're in the right place.
The upcoming ‘Conquerors Of Wraeclast’ league in Path of Exile 2 will let you choose between three factions:
- Karui
- Ezomyte
- Maraketh
I’ve already released a lore video on my YT channel detailing the Ezomyte culture… might have to get started on the other two now 👀
That’s a wrap for ExileCon 2026, and what an absolutely insane weekend it was.
From the POE2 1.0 announcements, POE1 league reveal, the insightful developer panels and more, it truly was a jam-packed weekend.
To have an experience like this around a singular IP is mind-blowing!
Attended the ExileCon Afterparty last night where Jonathan and Mark were doing a meet and greet.
Those two seriously need a medal after all the work they’ve been doing this weekend!
Even though CHANCE has left the building, there are some conditional crit DAMAGE nodes that exist on the tree.
It seems like GGG’s intentions with Path of Exile 2 1.0 is to have high crit chance bound to certain weapon types (daggers).
More footage from ExileCon 2026:
The rumors are true!
Crit chance nodes have been completely ERADICATED from the Path of Exile 2 skill tree in 1.0!
This will certainly shake up the endgame, as most builds relied on crit to be viable.
Here’s a look at the pre-built Duellist tree from the ExileCon 2026 floor:
The ‘Esteemed Mentor’ node from the Duellist ascendancy grants you a humble squire!
He’s essentially a persistent minion/mercenary that you can outfit with gear.
Excited to see what builds get cooked up with this at the release of POE2 1.0!
The ‘Glorious Entrance’ ascendancy node for the POE2 Duellist class is super unique.
After building enough Glory via your usual skills, ‘Liberator’s Chariot’ charges you into battle on a literal summoned chariot.
Very fun and super on-theme with the Theopolis colosseum lore!
The POE2 race finals are taking place at ExileCon 2026 right now!
It’s neck and neck at nearly 20 minutes in…
Always crazy to see how the competitors optimise their routes through each zone 🤯
The GGG founders are on-stage right now at ExileCon taking questions from the fans!
Love seeing such candid conversation around their processes for Path of Exile.
Day 2 of ExileCon 2026 begins…
Still processing all the new announcements and additions to Path of Exile 1 & 2. 😵💫
Is there any thing that you guys want me to check out / confirm?
In POE2 1.0, jewel sockets will be placed around different clusters on the passive skill tree, instead of the current highway nodes.
Hopefully this will lead to more interesting build variety!
It’s also a great alternative to just simply nerfing jewel power…
Traps being an actual weapon base type vs. a skill is a unique touch. It’s a great plus to the weapon swap system.
The merch line at ExileCon 2026 has truly been the final boss for attendees.
It has been CONSTANTLY jammed since the keynote presentation this morning with people waiting hours to get a chance to shop.
POE fans love their loot I guess 🙂↕️
I got to play through the beginning of Act 5 as the Shadow class at ExileCon!
Initial takeaways:
- Starting area of the act is ‘Oriath Harbour’
- The voice acting for each new class is superb
- Traps look and feel great to use
- Stealth mechanic feels very fresh and responsive
The Hooded One statue bundled in the top-tier supporter pack is AMAZING…
Might have to resort to starting a kickstarter to fund it though 😂
Celebrate the ExileCon announcements with the Full Release Supporter Packs! 🎉
Each includes exclusive microtransactions and points, with higher tiers adding physical merch, a figurine and a new option of player design submission for both games!

3 out of 3 ain’t bad! 👀
Takavai, Lumerius and Doryani at ExileCon 2026 make for an impressive trio.
Stunning stuff GGG. Amazing work to the artists responsible.
